Roaring Penguin PPPoE client
by Matt Gleeson - Feb 8th 2000 18:41:00
I have had great success with the Roaring Penguin client and my PacBell
DSL account.
It runs in userspace, which means it's not super-efficient, but I also
don't have to worry about a bleeding-edge kernel module crashing my
firewall. At full tilt on my 1.5Mbps DSL line, the pppoe CPU usage has
spiked up to as high as 70% on my 486 router/firewall. This is fine with
me, but something to think about if you are using a low-powered machine
with other duties besides just routing.

Linux 2.4.0 isn't really bleeding edge anymore. PPPoE in the kernel plus
pppd 2.4.0 works like a charm.

It does indeed. And the latest rp-pppoe (2.8) supports kernel-mode PPPoE,
but with the same simple setup and start/stop scripts as user-mode PPPoE.

rp-pppoe is great software.. should be included
with more CDROM distributions, imho (particularly
with adsl on the rise as a solution for home
networking)..
ive noticed a wierd bug though, when i recompiled
rp-pppoe for kernel 2.4.2: the pppoe kernel-mode
works, but only root has access to the connection.
has this happened to anyone else? is there an
easy fix?

% I how configure this client.
Just run adsl-setup and follow the prompts. Or run the GUI ((tkpppoe)
and fill in the fields. It's pretty intuitive.

I recently got Bell Atlantic ADSL service and was in need of a ppp
over ethernet solution (as bell atlantic uses winpoet for thier
dsl service and they do not support anything other than windows
and Mac's). While I at first had a bit of trouble setting things up
(mainly because Bell Atl. did not give much for documentation),
I managed to get things running without too much trouble... I
specificly found the scripts that came with this package to be
very
helpful while the documentation was not any more
helpfull than what I
had seen in other packages.
